My opinion? Depends on the car, and whether the myriad of sensor and other electrical connectors are sealed, potted, or booted. For instance, all the engine bay connectors in my wife's Lexus are sealed or potted where the wire enters the connector body. My Mazda? Not. Some are, but many aren't, and there's nothing to prevent water from entering the connector at the wire entry. Getting water (or detergent) in there may not cause a short or immediate failure, but would quite likely cause corrosion to begin or occur at a much faster rate. I'm not fanatical enough about the engine bay appearance to risk the potential problems, but that's just me. :)
